Van Gogh never sold a painting...

Van Gogh never sold a painting... and yet he is currently at the De Young in GGP.

Starry Night is amazing.

But did Van Gogh 'ship"?

Steve Jobs famously tossed off the comment "Real Artists ship". But what does it mean to ship?

Seth Godin says - getting your product out there to let people use it, is shipping. Holding on to it to make it "perfect" is not a useful or a successful pattern.

Descarte said, " The perfect is the enemy of the good."

In the last two years, we designed, we bootstrapped and we released a new product. I am trying to feel successful.

My Yogi Teabag said " Joy is the essence of success."

But now we are just at the starting line; we need sales.
